Dear Sir:
Our Personnel Committee has carefully
considered the application of Mr.
lohn D. Croft, of Kelton, S. C.
We appreciate the fine patriotism
?nd enthusiasm which prompts him to
nake this tender of his services but
inder all the circumstances we are
:ompelled to say we cannot use him.
fte is an applicant for overseas service,
and we feel it would be unwise
;o send him overseas, considering his
lependents, his wife and three chil
Iren.
A large number of ministers are of'ering
their services free for the fall
ind summer months which has about
supplied our need. We can take about
>ne minister out of every eight that
ipplies, the demand now being largey
for executive and for business men.
Please notify him the action of the
ommittee and greatly oblige.
Very truly yours,
W. W. Alexander,

INVESTING IN WAR^AVINGS a
STAMPS IS SAFE SAFE AS 1
INVESTING IN BONDS
jC
Very few people have ever stopped)
Lo consider why real estate is re- ?
garded as the best security on earth. ^
H. H. Woodward, of Conway, S. C.,
has given a very convincing idea on J
the subject, and it is so brief and u
dear that the war savings committee
ieems it worthy of wide publication:
"Real estate has been regarded as 3
the best security a man can have.
Why is real estate safe? Only be- 3
muse the government is safe! If
the government fails the title to land 0

aroes with it. All legal documents are|
affective only because the government b
stands behind them. A war savings b
?tamp is therefore just as safe se- 3
:urity as land can ever be. By inzesting
in these stamps you loan your s
money to the government and thus t(
lid it in winning the war; which, if
we lose, all is gone, including land. 3
Are you a patriotic citizen, a loyal v
member of your free and democratic
government, or are you a slacker who 1
is unwilling to help? If you are willing
to lend your money to the governmen
at a good rate of interest you
will invest in war savings and thrift *
ittmps to the greatest extent that e
yon are able."
